bear with me since even the tinist motion like typing sets it off.
went to yoga and did a sideways bend: sitting on floor, legs at 90°, right leg bent so that heel is in crotch, arms and torso arched over bent right leg. Nothing extreme or that I haven't done before. I felt a slight 'cramping' in left hip, but nothing severe and I continued the other (very mild) exercises with only slight awareness of this mild cramp coming and going. It wasn't 'til I got into the car that the cramping got worse.
Now it's at the point where to turn over in bed was a 2 minute deal with me moving like a snail/sloth/worm. It comes and goes in severe "fits". I can walk (like Frankenstein) without pain, but tinymovements like clearing my throat, coughing, farting (excuse me!) or even breathing can set off a stabbing pain through the middle of the left hip. Back and leg not involved. Weight-bearing not involved. I can be sitting or standing or lying down (apparently) completely immobile and it will come on strong enough to make me cry out.
Lying on right side in bed: can't lift head off pillow without inducing great hip pain. Sitting up: ok if done sloooowly. Put on pants: can lift left leg ok, but experience stabbing left hip pain just moving right foot an inch or two. A soluble dose of antiinflammatory medicine (Oki) did nothing. Trying to concentrate either on consciously 'relaxing' or 'tensing' can produce the pain onset as well. It's a question of a millimeter. At times moving my right hand and arm works ok, other times it suscitates the pain. It feels like a giant monster hand pinching my hip, or a dull knife going through it. It lasts 10-20 seconds at most, but can come in a series.
Unsure whether to go to the hospital straightaway or to rest a day and see how it goes. It's not better this am since last night.
